Withings BPM Connect Wi-Fi

It ranks #6 (B tier) on our consolidated blood pressure monitors board, on one cited source.

People who want every reading to land in a health app without touching a phone. It sits in B tier on our blood pressure monitors board for seamless Wi-Fi sync, user-friendly setup, firmware updates and long battery life. If accuracy evidence matters more than convenience, the Greater Goods Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor in S tier is clinically validated and still syncs over Bluetooth. If you want a wireless cuff with a long warranty, the Omron Evolv BP7000 in A tier is the alternative.

No. Once it is set up on your Wi-Fi network it takes the reading, shows it on the cuff and uploads it on its own. You need the phone app only for the initial setup and to review history. That is the main reason to pick it over a Bluetooth model like the Greater Goods Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor, which needs the phone nearby to sync.

Reviewers on our board record long battery life as one of its pros, though no figure was given. The Greater Goods Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor is the only product on the board with a stated battery figure, at more than two years. The Withings BPM Connect Wi-Fi charges over a cable rather than taking replaceable batteries, so keep the cable with the cuff.

Our board does not record clinical validation among its pros, so we cannot claim it. Reviewers ranked it on connectivity and ease of use. If validation is what you are buying, the Greater Goods Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor and the Omron Evolv BP7000 are both recorded as clinically validated on our board. Check the maker's documentation and ask your doctor which validation listing they rely on.

Sit with your back supported and feet flat on the floor, rest for five minutes, and wrap the cuff on a bare upper arm at heart level. Stay still and do not talk while it inflates. Take two or three readings a minute apart and let them all upload, rather than deleting the ones you do not like. Ask your doctor what time of day to measure and what they want to see in the app.
